Network Function Virtualization (NFV) appears to be a very promising, yet very disruptive, technology. At its simplest, NFV is about decoupling software from hardware and enabling the implementation to run on a farm of commodity hardware. In other words, it means placing network functions (NF) in the cloud. How can a network as a distributed cloud dynamically reshape its architecture, serving as a platform for customer applications? And how can telecoms benefit? |
